If I could give this film 11 out of 10 then I would, truly it is an example of perfection in film making where direction, acting, story and cinematography all blend to produce something that is greater than the sum of its parts. The film flows gently from start to finish, never too fast, never too slow, never losing its way, never becoming self-indulgent or melodramatic. It is a simple story of a young girl finding love and along the way (and like an unseen angel) helping others including those who watch this film find their own happiness and contentment. Audrey Tautou is perfect in her role, wide eyed, innocent, whimsical, vulnerable her ability to carry this film along with her performance is amazing. If she was only to ever make one film this would be the one film to make. Watching Ameilie will provide a lift for even the most cynical of hearts, it works for me every time.
